Bring the flavor of the islands to your dessert course. An easy fruit topping livens up a rich cheesecake. This is a dense New York-style cheesecake. Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs |
1 cup finely chopped almonds |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
3 tablespoons sugar |
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
4 large eggs |
1 cup sour cream |
fruit topping |
garnish: toasted coconut |
Directions:
1. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, chopped almonds, melted butter, and sugar. Press crumb mixture into bottom and 1 inch up sides of a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan.
2. Bake crust at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
3. Beat softened cream cheese at medium speed with electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
4. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add sour cream, and beat just until blended. Pour mixture into prepared crust.
5. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until center is almost set. Remove cheesecake from oven; cool on wire rack. Cover and chill 8 hours. Gently run a knife around edge of cheesecake, and release sides of pan; spoon chilled Fruit Topping over top. Garnish, if desired.
